Hugh Grant has “forbidden” his wife from watching one of his early film roles.

The 64-year-old actor - who has been married to Anna Elisabet Eberstein since 2018 - starred in the 1995 romcom ‘Nine Months’ alongside Julianne Moore but even though he thinks highly of everyone involved in it, he feels as if he was the one drawback.

He told Variety: “Let me stress, everyone involved with [‘Nine Months’], with the exception of me, was brilliant and talented. It was just me that let it down. “My wife wants to watch it, but I’ve forbidden her. I’ve put parental controls on the screen so that you can’t get it.”

Over the course of his lengthy Hollywood career, the ‘Wonka’ star has appeared in numerous romcoms such as ‘Bridget Jones’ Diary’ and ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’ and admitted that while they can be “hard work” to film, he has learned in more recent years that they achieve a longevity because of the “pain” often involved in the plot.

He said: “They’re hard. And with the benefit of time, I really appreciate the good ones I did. The Richard Curtis ones are really about pain.

It’s something my wife spotted. She’s Swedish; they’re good on pain. She was watching ‘Love Actually,’, and she said, “Everyone’s in pain, and the humor is all a means for dealing with pain.”
